​
Kara Lawson Basketball Camp will be an engaging, fast-paced, and educational four-day camp designed to instill the values, work ethic, and skills that have defined Kara Lawson’s successful basketball career and leadership at Duke. Campers will participate in two games per day with their team, including the unforgettable experience of playing several games in the iconic Cameron Indoor Stadium.
​
In addition to competitive gameplay, campers will have the opportunity to enhance their skills through top-tier instruction from experienced coaches in key areas such as ball handling, defense, rebounding, and shooting. Off the court, campers will learn from Duke Women’s Basketball staff about what it takes to excel as an elite basketball player, including strength and conditioning, nutrition, and mental preparation – the core elements that help athletes reach their full potential.

Meals
Campers are served lunch daily in Hall of Honor. There are a wide variety of healthy food options offered at each meal. This facility is peanut free (with the exception of individually packaged peanut butter).
Hall of Honor is staffed by the same catering company that services the Duke Student Athletics throughout the school year, so they are accustomed to accommodate various dietary restrictions and food allergies.
Cancellation Policy
For a cancellation that occurs more than two weeks before the start of your camp session, you may receive a partial refund. Regardless of date of cancellation, $100 of camp tuition plus the online processing fee are non-refundable, with no exceptions. If you cancel more than two weeks prior to the start of your session, you may choose to receive a refund (for all except for the non-refundable portion) or apply your entire tuition toward the immediate next summer’s Duke Girl's Basketball Camp (non-transferrable). Use of the camp credit is still subject to availability at the time of registration for the following summer’s camp. If there is an increase in camp tuition, the registrant must pay the difference between the current tuition and the tuition at the time of the original registration/cancellation. A camper may not choose the camp credit option and then later elect for a partial refund.
​
There is no refund for cancellations within two weeks of the camp session’s start date.
​
**Kara Lawson Basketball Camps are open to any and all registrants (limited only by number, age/grade and gender).**
